A new indoor six-a-side competition is being launched for schools in the west of Scotland – entries by October 19.

The tournament is aimed at S3-6 youngsters whose summer term is eaten up by exams and often miss out on much school cricket.

The tournament is also hoping to avoid the prelim exams so early stages will be before Christmas with a finals event in the new year.

All schools who have been involved in the West section of the Scottish Schools Cup have been approached to enter a team. If your local school would like to enter they should contact Iain Stewart direct, e-mail iainstewart@cricketscotland.com or call him on 07825 172346.
